She commenced service on the Australia Station in March 1890.[1] She left the Australia Station in August 1899 and returned to England. She was converted into a survey vessel in January 1902,[1] and commissioned by Commander Frederick Charles Learmonth on 4 February 1902.[2][3] She left Sheerness for the Mediterranean later that month on surveying duties.[4] In October 1902 she left Malta for the West Coast of Africa,[5] visiting Sierra Leone and Calabar in December.[6]

Fate

Goldfinch returned to Sheerness for refitting for continued service in 1906, but was found to be in poor condition and the sloop Шаблон:HMS was refitted as a survey ship to replace her.[7] Goldfinch was sold on 14 May 1907 for breaking up.[1]
